Subject:Exhaust Pipe Q?
From:Georgios A. Stylianides, PhD

Hi All,

In the process of replacing exhaust system. Kind of
tough� original exhaust pipes, nuts and bolts rusted
pretty well, etc.

Here is my question: is there a certain configuration
of the studs/nuts and bolts that hold the crossover
pipes on the cylinders? Right now,
Cylinder #1 has   1 stud (upper) & 1 bolt (lower)
Cylinder #2 has   2 studs (both upper & lower)
Cylinder #3 has   1 bolt (upper) & 1 stud (lower)
Cylinder #4 has   2 bolts (both upper & lower)

I am asking because I am replacing all studs/nuts and
bolts with stainless steel, so, 21 years from now I
may not have such a hard time taking them apart ..
haha! ETKA and Bentley are not very clear on that.

Also, it looks like the bolts should be 30mm and the
studs should be 40mm. True?

Thanks,

geo
